It is an opportunity for White County Citizens to receive hands-on training and law enforcement knowledge. Open to all White County residents, employees, and business owners age 21 and over, the Law Enforcement Academy is a 6-week course, free of charge.
The Academy meets on consecutive Monday nights from 6 until 8 p.m. starting Monday, March 25 and ending on Monday, April 29.
Students of the Academy have the opportunity to learn about Constitutional law, traffic stops, judgmental use of force, K9 and S.W.A.T. demonstrations, ride-along with deputies, and more.
Megan Bennet is the coordinator for The Academy. She spoke with Now Habersham about the importance of the program. “It is an opportunity to build a better connection between law enforcement and the community. It is also an avenue to see a side of the sheriff’s office many may never have the chance to see.”
Applications must be submitted by 5 p.m., Wednesday, March 6. It is limited to 16 individuals.
If you have any questions, please contact Megan Bennett at 706-865-5177. Anyone who would like to participate must pass a background check. The Academy is located at White County Sheriff’s Office, 1210 Hulsey Road, Cleveland, Georgia 30528.
